Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2670101A1] The invention concerns a method for pulse width modulation of an input signal (SBB) using at least one pulse width modulator (PWM1, PWM2), wherein the input signal (SBB) is upconverted on a carrier frequency, phase shifted and pulse width modulated in said at least one pulse width modulator (PWM1, PWM2) resulting in a first and a second phase shifted pulse width modulated signal with two levels (SPSPWM1, SPSPWM2), said first and second phase shifted pulse width modulated signal with two levels (SPSPWM1, SPSPWM2) have a phase difference (2”) which is dependent on the amplitude of the input signal (SBB), and a superposition of said first and second phase shifted pulse width modulated signal with two levels (SPSPWM1, SPSPWM2) results in a signal with three levels (SPWM), and a transmitter therefor.
